about

May we heal the Earth with our most powerful gift - love

lyrics

Can you feel my love in this madhouse world today
In this time of push and shove
I wondered as I lay

In the cradle of the mountains
From the highest place on Earth
I’ve learned of gratitude and peace
Of death and of rebirth

But it’s no longer easy to be grateful
Peace is so much harder to come by
It’s hard to remember about rebirth
As I watch my country die

I only human I’m doing my best
But everything I’ve learnt being put to the test
And it would quiet my pain
And give me some rest
If I knew that you felt my love

In the cradle of the mountains
In this crazy world today
I’ll teach of gratitude and peace
And watch my breath and pray

Through death and through rebirth
The mountains rise above
Reminding me of what I’ve learnt
So you can feel my love

In the cradle of the mountains
In the cradle of the mountains
In the cradle of the mountains
In the cradle of the mountains
